What to expect & Highlights:

- Special MATCHA LATTE €6 : The friendly manager at the venue was kind enough to offer Matcha Latte just for our event—everyone’s favorite Asian drink, which isn't normally available on their menu!
- Special Food for This Event: At our previous meetup, food was not available and some guests were left hungry. We’re sorry about that. To make up for it, the venue has kindly prepared a limited number of special food trays exclusively for this event:
- A savory tray with bitterballen, cheese sticks, and onion rings
- A sweet and refreshing tray with matcha cookies, strawberries, and mango
Please note that these trays will be available in limited quantities.
- Affordable Drinks & Free Snacks: Bar drinks start from just €3, and there will be some free snacks on the tables for us to enjoy.
※You can check the menu photos attached below. - Friendly Socializing: Casual conversations, networking, and a warm atmosphere to meet potential travel buddies, language partners, or new friends!
